BREAD!!!

So Ryan and I got a new kitchen aid mixer from my parents for Christmas and they got it for us because we both love home made bread. My parents have been making bread for a really long time and I thought that I could make it just as good as them, because I used to make it when I lived at home and it always turned out right. Yeah well it is not that easy when you don't have your parents there helping you every step of the way.
I get so frustrated because I think that I am doing it right and that it will turn out how my dad's bread turns out but no it came out flat. HELP!!!! Dad what am I doing wrong???!! Yesterday Ryan and I ventured to make it again and I thought okay I can do this, and I let it raise for awhile and then cooked it. I only it had it in the oven for about 20 minutes and I opened it and it was flatter than flat. Ryan was trying to make me feel better and he said you could open your own shop and call it the square bread! Oh it is so FRUSTRATING!! Dad and Mom I need you two to come down here and help me out! I love homemade bread and want some that will look pretty!
I will post some pictures of my bread tomorrow just so you can see it! I will get it down maybe in twenty years or so!:)

Keeping Up!

Sometimes it is really hard for me to know what to write in our blog. So I guess I will just tell everyone what we have been up to for the past few weeks.
Right now Ryan and I are training for a half marathon and a full marathon. Ryan is running the full marathon and I am running the half on June 14 in Rexburg! I am excited for it but a little bit nervous at the same time. I have heard that this is a pretty tough one so hopefully we will both be okay!
Just last Saturday we ran our first race for this year! It was the Shamrock Shuffle that is a 5k run! I didn't do as well as I would have liked to do! Ryan won the race he ran it in 17:59! He is an amazing runner! He got a gift certificate to Al's Sports store here in Logan and I won some socks! Yeah! We did it with a couple of our friends Dan and Staci, and they won a cooler and a free movie rental. So that was fun that we all won something!
We have another 5k on March 29! It is fun because here in Logan there is always a race every month! We are going to try and do as many as we can!
Ryan has really got me addicted to running! It really does make you feel good when you can just go outside and run!

MORE PICS!




So I was finally able to post the rest of the pictures from Mesa Falls. Now you can see the beauty of the falls. They were incredible. It was a little bit scary when we got to the upper falls because the snow was so hight that the railing that usually protects you was covered in snow so you were on top of the railing and it was really slippery so you had to be really careful. But I was glad that we finally made it there to see the amazing scenery! I really did have a good time I just wanted to complain to Ryan!
